Davenport: City Council-administration relationship

The City Council and administration (under several mayors) have often been at odds. What is the appropriate relationship between the two? What will you do to develop that relationship?The mayor and Council must understand it's a give-and-take relationship. I would compromise with Council to their advantage the first time we disagree with the understanding it goes the opposite way the next time. We all want what's best for all citizens so each view should be respected.
